This is why I always come back!
A psychologist walked around a room
while teaching stress management to
an audience. As she raised a glass of
water, everyone expected they’d be
asked the “half empty or half full”
question.
Instead, with a smile on her
face, she inquired: “How heavy is this
glass of water?”
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz.
to 20 oz.
She replied, “The absolute weight
doesn’t matter. It depends on how
long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute,
it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an
hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I
hold it for a day, my arm will feel
numb and paralyzed.
In each case, the
weight of the glass doesn’t change, but
the longer I hold it, the heavier it
becomes.” She continued, “The
stresses and worries in life are like that
glass of water. Think about them for a
while and nothing happens. Think
about them a bit longer and they begin
to hurt. And if you think about them all
day long, you will feel paralyzed –
incapable of doing anything.”
It’s important to remember to let go of
your stresses. As early in the evening
as you can, put all your burdens down.
Don’t carry them through the evening
and into the night. Remember to put
the glass down!
I put the glass down yesterday! ;)
